Cloudy Bay Chardonnay 750ml
$16.19
Description
Cloudy Bay Chardonnay is elegant and refined, a Chardonnay for connoisseurs and food lovers. Chardonnay was the second wine in Cloudy Bay’s portfolio, and has quietly - but firmly - held onto its reputation as a stately and refined food wine.
Created from a love for the Burgundy style, it has a unique Marlborough-style freshness. The citrus, stone fruit and orchard blossom characters are underpinned by more savoury elements like hazelnut and crème pâtissière. It’s a prime choice for gastronomic adventurers, and pairs well with just about any cuisine.
Cloudy Bay’s approach to Chardonnay is all about balance and harmony. Vineyards planted in the stony soils of Wairau Valley and the dense clay of the Southern Valleys work together to create a wine that marries ripe stone fruit and citrusy elegance. Produced with painstaking care and traditional techniques, Cloudy Bay Chardonnay spends 11 months in oak barrels before it goes into bottles.
Tasting Notes
Aromatically, the wine draws you in with complex flavours of cashew nut, preserved lemon and nectarine. As the wine opens up, subtle grapefruit and white floral notes reveal themselves. The palate is layered with a bold complexity of ripe fruit flavour and spicy, smoky oak characters. The texture of the wine - a combination of fruit density and lees work - provides a focal point that is balanced by fresh and firm acidity.Product Details
